Visit a concentration camp and learn about the history of the site
Visit the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps with a knowledgeable educator who will share its history. Spend about 3.5 hours learning about the millions of victims of the Holocaust. Auschwitz-Birkenau was established in 1940 by Nazi Germany and was the largest concentration camp operated by the Nazis. It became the site of mass killings, mostly of Jews and Poles, who were murdered in gas chambers. Afterward, go to the second camp at Birkenau, where mass killings occurred as part of the Nazi "Final Solution to the Jewish Question.”
